I think the shrinking edu market is going to exit universities that probably didn’t add much value in the first place. So it might not be a bad thing in the end.

And I agree that we need more STEM education though I have my doubts in the capacity of the population to “upgrade” intellectually. Lots of people aren’t STEM material whatever means you mobilise.

Which is why, long term, the immigration of smart and skilled STEM students is a good thing.

But I really see the next 2-3 years as really tough, probably worse than 2008. And I can see why the administration would try to remove any additional pressure on the job market in such exceptional times.
